Childhood obesity

[sushee]

and the number of parents around with fat children was unbelievable! It makes me soooo mad to see people feeding their kids rubbish and not teaching them about nutrition and healthy eating.

I dont care about the the parents, they are adults and responsible for themselves, but little kiddies dont have a chance if they are fed junk from a young age. They are set up for a life of health issues.

Actually, feeding children junk food isn't the sole domain of overweight parents. Thin parents are just as guilty of feeding their children junk. I know because I see it all the time.

I also know that just because you're overweight does not mean your children are fed junk. My children are all thin, despite the fact that I am overweight.

So justed wanted to make absolutely clear: overweight parents do not necessarily equal overweight children. ANY parent, weight notwithstanding, can be resposnsible for their kids' bad diets. I am not comfortablle with any insinuation that because a parent is fat, that they must feed their kids junk.
